We're you see the ad at with that price?

Pick a shad color.

I'm giving the line 2 big, bass chewed thumbs up if Friday was any indication of what to expect. It cast awesome, low stretch, very sensitive, just like described basically. The outlet was a waste land when we were out there, everyone that fished said the same thing, so no swimbait fish for me. That Deps Slide Swimmer sure looks purdy in the water though

I tried it Friday, you won't be disappointed.

I almost tossed them in the livewell for whichever one of my buddies wanted to come get them when I got home, but decided against it. I don't eat fish and Chris didn't feel like filleting them so back they went. Only allowed to keep 5 a person over 12" on this lake but 10 14" crappie is a pretty good mess of fish.

kanasbassfisher08 and I were chasing bass last Friday and doing pretty good pitching beavers at trees in 1-6 feet of water. I pulled my bait over a limb and had several good thumps but none that held onto it. I had a feeling what it was so I dropped a 3" power minnow next to the tree and got a thump almost immediately and swung in a big crappie, 11 more just like it followed. Didn't measure it but a Plano 3700 box is 14x9 inches for a size reference. All released to bite again another day.

This video does a great job illustrating why the Elaztec plastics, light line/jighead, and a small hook are so crucial in getting the most out of the Ned Rig. It also really shows how this bait that looks like it doesn't do anything, actually moves around quite a bit and does an excellent job imitating a small minnow foraging in the rocks or a craw scuttling along the bottom.

You guys want to get together next week, Friday the 30th and try to hash out the game plan for this? We could meet up at Johnny's again or do a potluck at someone's house?

I believe it was 2 weeks in a row I got to take your picture of the tournament big bass you caught while fishing behind me? Good thing it was team tournaments

I agree 100% that putting that fish in a livewell would probably be a death sentence, but often handling one very much is the same. It seems like rules that strict you wouldn't be able to even "possess" this fish, which when enforced to the strictest sense, includes keeping the fish long enough to be weighed and photographed. Just struck me as odd that you can keep one long enough to weigh and photograph it, but not get it officially weighed.

Shakyhead is more of an open water/sparse cover technique for me while the T rig gets the most work around cover or weeds.

I walk the edges of the local lakes every winter. The water levels aren't down but baits that are lost to fish or snags that work lose and float up eventually wash to the shoreline, that's where I come into the picture I found over 100 crankbaits last winter walking shorelines.

I like a Texas rig more around wood most of the time.

Same thing goes for docks. Get on a lake like LOZ and guys try to just go down a bank pitching as many docks as they can when they could just hit a few and move on if they knew what structure was under them.

I do occasionally, seems to be no surer way to shut down a hot bite than dropping an anchor though.

It's nice when they match, but I'm a function before form kind of guy.

The only reason I buy tungsten is for flipping weeds, only time it's worth it to me.

Translucent colors it changes a lot, opaque ones not so much. A watermelon worm with the tip dyed chartreuse is almost a must for smallmouths some days.
